Tear off tickets

March 18th 2024 PDT

Hi all, My office manages bulk sales of tickets in addition to scheduling group tours. I am looking for a product I can run through the printer in 8 ½ x 11 sheets and then tear apart.

Large-print labels. How and whether

March 18th 2024 PDT

Hi, everyone.   I am writing to get some intel on how you all approach large-print labels. If anyone is willing to share their workflow, I would much appreciate it.   How do you actually assemble the contents? Do you use digital or paper large-print labels? Have you done any formative or summative evaluation that has impacted the final approach? How do folks know they are available and do you have a sense of usage?   Any and all info would be fantastic. Thank you. Neely McNulty   Neely H McNulty ...Continue Reading

March 14th 2024 PDT

Hello from Fallingwater! We recently switched to this listening device: https://www.retekess.com/categories/tt106-wireless-tour-guide-audio-system. Feedback from our visitors has been overwhelmingly positive. We have several sets of an older version of this device, which we no longer use but served us well for many years. We were thinking of listing them for sale on eBay but if a museum is interested in using them, we can send them to you for the cost of shipping. We have 8 sets that include transmitters, rec ...Continue Reading

March 13th 2024 PDT

We use the Tour-Mate TM600 Group Guide system at our site.  For context, we interpret the Old North Church Historic Site--a large, open space.  We offer specialty tours within the space while other visitors are circulating.  The system works very well for us.  They are simple to use and easy to sterilize (we purchased a UV sanitizing unit from Tour-Mate that has a 3-minute sterilizing cycle).  We've also been delighted that we've been able to use the system for assistive listening during p ...Continue Reading

RE: Wireless tour guide system recommendations

March 13th 2024 PDT

We use a wireless system for our media previews. The system was purchased during COVID and is great way to allow visitors hear the speaker in the galleries. The one challenge is the distribution and collection of the system. It requires two staff members to distribute the system with a headset and explain how to use it. The challenge is always collecting the system and headsets back from the guests since people leave at various times. We have decided against using the system for our adult walkup tours since visito ...Continue Reading
